Wake Up As Gay Werewolf Prince [BL]

107 BLACK BLOOD SMELLS LIKE POOP

The spider’s head rolled on the ground like a soccer ball, but it was much larger than a soccer ball.

Bai Chen even stopped breathing when his hand swung the sword together with Wu Jinhai’s, and now he felt like passing out when he saw how the beast’s head fell off the body onto the ground.

Not only that, but he could also see a mysterious black liquid oozing out of the head and neck that had been slashed by him and Wu Jinhai, and it even had an unpleasant odor that made him vomit.

Yes, Bai Chen immediately ran away from Wu Jinhai and threw up as he couldn’t hold his churning stomach any longer. Wu Jinhai looked confused, but then he calmly walked toward the man in white and used his hand to stroke the man’s back while the man was still busy emptying his stomach.

“You told me that you received proper training from a Sentinel, but you couldn’t even stand the sight of a dying beast,” Wu Jinhai commented, but Bai Chen was too weak to retaliate.

Just hearing how the masked man mentioned the words ‘dying beast’ was enough to make him feel worse. The beast was literally dying as a black, smelly liquid kept flowing from its body, and the memories of it kept replaying in Bai Chen’s head like a broken record.

Not getting any response from Bai Chen, Wu Jinhai sighed as he raised his hand so he could massage Bai Chen’s nape now. “You should have told me that you couldn’t stand the sight and smell of blood. I could have covered your eyes and nose if you had told me beforehand.”

Bai Chen had a feast with Ma Qiao before he came to this dangerous event, thinking that he wouldn’t be able to eat delicious food for the next few days because of the event. Sure enough, there wouldn’t be a tavern in the dangerous forest, right?

Unfortunately, all the delicious food that had pleased his stomach since this morning was on the ground now, and Bai Chen sadly looked at it before straightening himself up again.

.....

He took a deep breath before glancing at the dead beast. Bai Chen knew that the beast had died even if its body was still standing on eight legs, and he once again felt like throwing up when he saw that disgusting liquid again.

“You said the black liquid was blood? It smelled like your poop, but you said it was the blood of the beast?” Bai Chen asked Wu Jinhai as he turned his gaze to the taller man.

Hearing the question, Wu Jinhai finally laughed again. “You said the blood smelled like my poop? Have you ever smelled my poop?”

“...” Bai Chen facepalmed when he heard Wu Jinhai’s careless reply. ‘I can’t even stand smelling my own shit, so why should I smell yours?’ He thought to himself.

He regretted why he said the word ‘poop’ because his stomach was acting up again. He wanted to throw up again, but his stomach was empty, so the sensation in his stomach was really uncomfortable.

“Can we leave this place now? I don’t think I can survive if we stay here any longer. It wouldn’t be funny if people outside this forest heard the news that the second Prince of Dong Lang had died from the smell of beast’s blood,” Bai Chen spoke again as he shoved his sword into its scabbard once more.

It wasn’t funny, but he was sure that Bai Renshu would be the first to laugh if such an embarrassing thing happened to him.

“Sure,” fortunately, Wu Jinhai agreed immediately rather than continuing to mock him. “I know a good place to stay, but it’s quite far from here. I think we should get there before sunset. This forest will be more dangerous at night.”

Bai Chen had just realized that it was already afternoon, so there were only a few hours left for the night to come. The forest was already darker than an ordinary forest when it was still day, and Bai Chen didn’t dare imagine the situation in the forest at night.

Even Wu Jinhai had confirmed that the forest would be dangerous at night, and he agreed that he needed to find a place to stay now.

Yes, Wu Jinhai did say that they should find a place to stay, but to Bai Chen, it would be a place to hide. He now realized that the difference between the two words could also distinguish a great distance between him and the Prince of Wu Li.

Bai Chen knew that he was a loser while Wu Jinhai was like a hero in this forest, but he only nodded his head to reply to Wu Jinhai’s statement. After they both agreed, the two men then started walking away from the giant spider.

Before leaving, Bai Chen glanced at the disciples who were still unconscious on the ground, and he could only pray that the humans would come to their senses soon.

“So...” Wu Jinhai broke the silence between them as they continued walking together, and Bai Chen focused on the man again. “How do you feel after killing your first beast, Your Highness?” He continued while glancing at the shorter man, and he even purposely addressed the man formally even though his tone sounded like he was teasing the man right now.

Bai Chen’s mind was clouded ever since he saw the giant spider, and he didn’t even realize that he had actually killed the beast.

Before coming to the forest, he didn’t think about killing any beast because he just wanted to hide himself so that the beast wouldn’t notice his presence, but he ended up killing a beast when he was only half an hour in the forest.

“It wasn’t just me who killed the beast,” Bai Chen replied. “You helped me swing my sword, so you can also get credit.”

Bai Chen was telling the truth because Wu Jinhai had indeed helped him swing his sword. Perhaps it was true that the sword was powerful and would be able to slay the beast with just one swing, but he wouldn’t have been able to do so if Wu Jinhai had not guided him with his hands.

“You were the one wielding the sword, so it would count as you killing the beast. You still remember that the competition in this forest is individual, right?” Wu Jinhai asked again.

Of course, Bai Chen still remembered the rules of the competition, and he also remembered that one had to work alone to kill the beasts.

“Even without a sword, I’m pretty sure that you can still kill the beast. Why did you let me take the credit instead?” Bai Chen asked again.

He knew that the people organizing the event didn’t monitor the event directly, but Ma Qiao told him that the organizers had planted many ‘eyes’ in the forest that would function like surveillance cameras that could capture pictures of the participants in the forest.

The main objective was to ensure that none of the participants broke the rules, and the other goal was to count how many beasts each participant killed.

Bai Chen didn’t know what kind of device it was, but he believed that activity in the forest was being monitored from outside.

“It’s not a big deal,” the answer from Wu Jinhai came. “I’m participating in this event just for fun, so I don’t really care about beasts.”

Bai Chen was not surprised to hear the man’s statement. Ever since they entered the forest together, Wu Jinhai looked so calm and relaxed, unlike the other participants who immediately wandered through the forest to find beasts. From the man’s attitude, Bai Chen could see that Wu Jinhai had no ambition to win the competition.

“You joined this event just for fun, but you ended up taking care of me. Don’t you see me as a nuisance?” Bai Chen asked again.

“Oh? You think I’m looking after you?” Wu Jinhai asked back, and from his tone, Bai Chen could see a bit of amusement.

Maybe Bai Chen was overly confident in what he just said, but he had his reasons for that. “Yeah, I’m sure you’ve been taking care of me since we arrived in the forest,” he replied. “First, you saved me on the bridge, and you even gave me your sword. You also saved me when I fell from the cobweb, and you even took me to a safe place you know.”

Bai Chen counted how many times Wu Jinhai had helped him, and he was pretty sure that the man was taking care of him on purpose.

Stopping in his tracks suddenly, Bai Chen forced Wu Jinhai to stop as well.

They faced each other now, and Bai Chen once again spoke, “And do you think I didn’t know that it was you who froze the giant spider when it was about to attack me earlier? I’m not that stupid, and I know that it was your doing, Your Highness.”
